How to Grow:

1. Sowing: Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late summer for a winter harvest. Plant seeds 1-2cm ( inch) deep and space them 20-25cm (8-10 inches) apart in rows.
2. Germination: Keep the soil consistently moist until germination occurs, typically within 14-21 days.
3. Thinning: Once seedlings have a few true leaves, thin them to the recommended spacing to promote healthy root development.
4. Care: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and apply a balanced fertiliser to support robust growth.
5. Harvesting: Harvest parsnips when they reach a desirable size, usually around 20-30cm (8-12 inches) long. They can be left in the ground until needed, as they store well and develop sweeter flavours after frost.
